What it is
Astral (official site: heyastral.ai) is an AI-assisted trading workstation from Astral Trading, Inc. (Potomac, Maryland, US; founded 2025). A user describes a market idea in natural language; the product generates inspectable, rules-based strategy code, then backtests, alerts, paper-trades and executes through the user's own connected brokerage account.
Name disambiguation: unrelated to Astral (astral.sh), the Python tooling company behind Ruff and uv. Same name, different company.
Components
- Terminal — charts, indicators, chat, backtest output, manual order ticket, watchlists, broker panel
- Dashboard — positions, notifications, broker connections
- Explore — public strategy and indicator library
- MCP endpoint — usable from ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Codex and Gemini clients
Key facts
- Pricing: $9 first month, then $30/month, cancellable before the next billing period; no free trial currently
- Backtesting: equity curve, drawdown, Sharpe ratio, full trade list; 40,000-bar history
- Not a broker and does not custody user funds; it only sends orders the user explicitly confirms to the user's own connected broker
- Provides no investment advice and promises no returns; trading involves risk of loss
